In Austria the ‘pedophile hunters’ targeted gay men who were not pedophiles. If ‘pedophile hunters’ would actually care about their cause, they would storm the next church…
This is obviously where this is going and it’s a big part why they’re obsessed with labeling people “groomers.”
The Church actually has a lower rate of child abuse than public schools…
Is this an angelfire website in the 90’s? Who the hell thought a background amalgamation of moving images was the best way to present printed media?
I just can’t with these websites anymore. I find it almost impossible to read when there’s a embedded video as it is.
Firefox’s reader view (ctrl alt r) is a godsend for cases like these.
Regular ublock origin does a great job for both automated and manual page cleanup.
For cases when the page is still borderline unusable, Firefox’s reader view is a must.
Plus it skips most pay walls. Even if they load the text to pay when the page opens, if you refresh after enabling reader mode, you’ll get the entire article.
Thanks for pointing this out. I usually read articles on mobile so I was able to find a feature I didn’t know about. For anyone else on android: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-articles-reader-view-firefox-android
Trying to read the text with the insane collage of actively playing videos made me feel motion sickness
Israel is a know destination for exposed pedophiles…
This only happens because there is rarely justice from the state, in these cases.
How many clergy who are rapists still walk around, protected by the state?
Oh hey, it’s “won’t somebody please think of the children?” taken to the streets for internet clout! Absolutely nothing wrong can happen there! /s
Republicans and Church leaders everywhere are terrified.
This is a symptom. If police won’t do it’s job there will be some guys who will take it into their own hands. The problem is they have even less oversight than police.
Is that really the only problem you see with people taking justice into their own hands? Less oversight?
Disproportionate punishment is another of course. They probably lump pedophiles (a person with a psychiatric disorder) and child molesters (a person that actually harms children) into the same group and you deserve to die for simply thinking the wrong things.
They lump far more people into the same group. They attack anyone whom they think they can, even if they know that their accusations are BS.
A person does not need to point out all problems when pointing out one problem.

That’s not the only problem. They’re making content, so finding “the right person” will inevitably be less important than finding a person. Can’t fall out of the Almighty Algorithm’s favor, amirite?
So … What you’re saying, it’s that there would be less oversight when it comes to choosing their targets. Almost exactly like OP said. Almost like they were speaking in broad strokes and you failed to notice any nuance.
Bruh, why are you taking umbrage? Chill, I didn’t shit on your birthday cake.
Honestly? I just don’t really like that reddit behaviour of regurgitating the previous person’s comment and passing it off as your own unique idea, that’s all.
I took a general comment and said something very specific. What you saw as dual meaning, I saw as one. OP did not make their intended meaning clear.
Maybe we can be better than Reddit and be more charitable with each other here, yeah?
The government mistakes people for wrong person all the time too though
Sometimes on purpose
When they go after the wrong person, yes. When they decide to both be the police, judge and executioner, yes.
But if the judiciary system doesn’t do it’s work, what do you expect.
I can assure you that the judiciary system in my country does work. It’s just that these people either a. just want to beat someone up and need an excuse, or b. don’t agree with our laws and think it should be prison time for a 18 year old who wants to date a 16 year old, or a 21 year old who wants to date a 17 year old.
Even if the judiciary system in your country doesn’t do its work, people taking justice in their own hands is a fundamentally bad thing for a society. I don’t pity predators if they get what they deserve, but I pity the society that suddenly has to define boundaries - where do you draw the line? Not all cases are clear cut. Not everyone operates on the same set of morals.
Example: Religious zealots really do believe that abortions kill children. If society doesn’t categorically forbid people to take justice into their own hands but goes “well, in this case, we can all understand”, you will have other people acting in ways they perceive as equally justifiable. And then abortion doctors get murdered.
The users who downvoted me don’t seem to have this understanding, they would rather have revenge. If you people don’t understand that self-justice will ultimately lead to a more violent society, then go ahead, downvote me again. You’re the reason your country isn’t a more civilized place, wherever you live.
Pedophile hunting is among several vigilante movements in the United States. Groups in the South try to catch alleged drug smugglers at the border; others monitor local crime. The new wave of pedophile hunters stands out for adopting the social media influencer model, using real-life violence to build a following online.
This is about clout chasing and being violent monsters
And if anyone calls them out on it, they’re immediately branded as “pedophile sympathizers” if not actual pedophiles themselves. So, not only do they get to be violent monsters, saying that they shouldn’t commit horrible violence without any sort of legal oversight (or at all, really) makes YOU the bad guy!
They can deflect doubt because they are hunting pedophiles.
“You wouldn’t defend a pedophile now, would you?” - clout chasing violence monger
And if you haven’t found any pedophiles yet, well, I guess you’re not trying hard enough. Or maybe… you are one of them… 😠
Can’t believe this needs an /s
“less oversight than police.” A bar so low you need a shovel to get under it.
I’d make a guess they’re getting violent because the legal system can’t do anything with their compromised evidence. Instead of realizing they’re not the people qualified to do this work, they’re just doubling down and “handling it themselves.”
They’re experiencing positive re-enforcement when they get violent with the people they’ve intrapped. They’re getting more violent because they want more of the positive online feedback they’ve been getting.
There is no lofty thought process about justice.
Same thing with the 1A auditors, aka “frauditors”.
Well honestly it seems they may be the most qualified to do this work at this point then
You got down voted but all we need to check is how catholic church has been given a blank check for what they do…
Fuck them. I won’t cry when pedo priest is given justice.
This clown regime think they can just put something like that under the rug 🤡
Except these guys never go after the Catholic Church
And that’s the real crime here and likely indicative of their bad faith behavior
I don’t know how it works in the US, and it’s certainly not perfect, but if you bring “compromised” evidences of actual child abuse, you can be sure it’ll trigger some extensive investigation. Sometimes, this leads to nothing. Sometimes, the “evidences” were not really evidence, but more of a hunch. Sometimes, it leads to actual consequences.
One issue with such a vigilante system is that sometimes, you’re wrong. That’s why due process is a thing. But the “this evidence was collected illegally, so we won’t even look up the guy” thing isn’t really a thing, as long as the evidence is better than “I’m sure of it”.
They’re getting more violent because they’re getting more views when they get violent.
They see them everywhere except in their own home
Did people not watch The Hunt?
I always knew there was something wrong with that these people were doing but couldn’t exactly put my finger on it and never talked about it because people would’ve yelled at me and used false dillema arguments like many people who criticized them back them recieved “You support pedophiles you removed”
There’s one in the white house. Why don’t they seem to care about that one?
Bread and circuses
Reminder, those “Pedophile Hunters” don’t really give a damn about children.
They’re sadists who are out to hurt & kill
Can we do billionaires next? There is surely a little overlap.
